Configure email IDs to enable an automatic response from BMC HelixGPT

BMC Helix Business Workflows benefits customers by providing automated responses to specified email IDs. This approach effectively reduces unnecessary responses to all the emails. The Case Exclusion Template feature further ensures that only relevant cases receive auto-replies, while allowing manual handling of high-priority or sensitive cases for better focus and control.

For more information, see Enabling automatic handling of emailed cases by BMC HelixGPT.
